A Letter to Post Columnists About Their Article on Child Sex Abuse by School Police
A third letter that asks "Why doesn't the Post perform similar studies about the female abuse of men and boys?"
Dear Mses. Contrera and Abelson,
This past September I published two open letters (here and here) written to you and others1 involved in The Washington Post’s Abused by the badge series.
In those letters I explained that I’m a lifelong reader of the Post who nevertheless has long noticed the paper’s feminism-inspired gender bias, provable by its imbalanced coverage of domestic violence2 and made undeniable by its 2018 publication of the op-ed Why can't we hate men?, where the paper provided a platform for a radical feminist to broadcast to the world a Nazi-like hatred for men.
Although I commended your team for its fine work on both the investigation and the resulting articles, in both letters I implicitly posed the question,
“Why doesn't the Post perform similar studies about the abuse of men and boys?”
I then offered some suggestions for other investigations about the abuse of males that the Post, in the interest of true “gender equality”, might undertake, including:
Abused by their Teachers: to examine the rape of boys by their female teachers
Abused by the Washington Post: Male Victims of Domestic Violence: to examine how the Post has neglected male DV victims
Abused by Feminism: Marriage, Fathers and Families: to explore the impact of feminism’s oft-stated goal for the destruction of fathers and families
Abused by American Women: Sexual Assault and #MeToo: to examine the hypocrisy of #MeToo and false accusations of sexual assault
Abused by the Federal Government: Young Men and Title IX: to examine how the federal government has abused the civil rights of young men at U.S. colleges and universities
Abused by Chivalry: The Gender Empathy Gap: to make you aware of something called the gender empathy gap, “… the striking and disturbing indifference of our culture to the suffering of men and boys in stark contrast to our evident concern for the suffering of girls and women.”3
In response to your recent article, DOJ moves to prevent child sex abuse by school police after Post investigation4 I’d like to suggest another area for investigation by the Post.
Abused by the Police: How Feminism Forces Police to Enforce Unfair DV Laws
“There’s recently been an interesting skirmish in Australian over a police union submission to the federal inquiry into family law. In their submission the Queensland Police Union pointed out that false allegations of domestic violence are regularly used to gain advantage in family law disputes and that members of the police force are finding themselves on the receiving end.” – Bettina Arndt
Despite hundreds of studies that show that women commit at least as much, if not more, domestic violence as men,5 feminists have over the past 60 years successfully managed to pervert justice by introducing unfair policies on how police handle complaints of domestic violence, including, for example, mandatory arrest rules usually where “the physically larger person” is to be arrested.
The result is that there are different laws for the two genders. One officer aptly summarized the reality:
“When I was a policeman, we attended many domestic violence calls. Often 5-6 per night shift. What I saw was, in the overwhelming majority of cases, it was the female who would initiate the violence. Usually by throwing things. The man would respond and, being bigger and stronger, inflict the greater damage. Then, he would get arrested. But when we went to pub crawls, the first question was always, ‘Who threw the first punch?’ That’s who should get locked up. I could never understand the two different policies.”
A recommended source to start your investigation: Bettina Arndt’s Substack Site

Whistleblower police: Reluctant enforcers for feminist DV regime: Arndt reveals how she receives regular emails from Australian police who are appalled at having to enforce unjust DV laws
Justice denied: A former police prosecutor exposes NSW’s dysfunctional system for dealing with sexual assault and domestic violence: uncovers in detail how the law and media have strayed from the principles of justice
Feminist capture of justice system: a post that documents how feminists manipulate standard procedures to thwart fair police investigations of sexual assault
Finally, you should read about a Restoring the Presumption of Innocence Conference, held in Australia this past August, that exposes the anti-male prejudice and unequal treatment by the courts and the criminal law system:
The time is right. Equality before the law no longer exists in Australia. The presumption of innocence has been tossed aside – totally discarded by our biased media and undermined by legislative tampering with basic principles of justice.
For decades our justice system has been tilted to favour “victims”, with the result that men and women are treated very differently – by police, the Family Court, judges and juries in the criminal law system.
But gradually the rot in the system is being exposed. Right now, 400 current sexual assault cases are being audited by NSW public prosecutors to determine whether, as six judges have claimed, such cases are being pushed through to trial with insufficient evidence.
We are seizing the moment, and bringing together real experts to expose what is going on here. And to talk about what’s needed to achieve a fair system.
Sincerely,
Stephen Bond

Those letters were specifically addressed to the main credited authors of the initial articles in the Abused by the Badge series, including both Mses. Contrera & Abelson, but implicitly includes many more researchers and writers in a team from the Post and Bowling Green State and American universities. All are listed under the “About our team” section.
This observation was confirmed by a February 2023 report by The Coalition to End Domestic Violence that described a 10-Year Suppression of the Truth on Domestic Violence by the Washington Post.

This is just one of a number of related articles, as shown in Contrera’s and Abelson’s profile pages.
See my post Domestic Violence: Feminism’s Big Lie or visit The Partner Abuse State of Knowledge (PASK) website. PASK has performed an extensive review of 12,000 DV studies and concludes that domestic violence is NOT simply “men beating up women”.
